Countdown Timers
• The following slides contain a series of ‘timers’ that can be used in PowerPoint
• The idea behind this, is one way to make a PowerPoint presentation to a large audience, slightly
more interactive, is to set the students a question, activity, calculation etc. If appropriate a timer
can be introduced, to ‘time’ how long is available for them to complete the activity.
• There are timers for various different time increments between 10 seconds and 20 minutes.
• To use a timer, all you need to do is enter the editing mode of PowerPoint - copy desired timer
into your presentation, each timer is made up of many components, so when copying – you need
to use the mouse to select all the components to do this – click and hold the mouse, top left of the
timer, then whilst holding mouse button down, drag the mouse to bottom right of timer and release
– everything within the region should be selected. You can now ‘copy’ – then go into your
presentation and paste.
• Timers can be resized, or formatted – just make sure you highlight all of the items at the same
time (by using same method as above).
• Most timers are set to start when they are clicked – the exception being the bar timers which start
when you click anywhere on the slide. If you want timers to start automatically when the slide is
viewed then this can be achieved by changing the animation settings to start automatically.
• Some timers have a sound effect - this could easily be removed or replaced with your own sound
effect.
• Some timers can be altered to different time increments – see the how to videos (link below) for
information.
• Look at the notes area on each slide for information on the timers.
